Independence day is almost here, which usually means major outlet reductions. We started snooping around Woodbury Common and found that many of our favorite stores are adding extra discounts to lure customers. Don’t worry if your plans don’t include driving an hour north to go shopping. Most stores are willing to ship merchandise.
Balenciaga
For the July 4th weekend Balenciaga is adding an additional 30% off handbags and ready-to-wear. Discounts at the outlet start at 50% off and the additional discount brings the savings to 65% off. Most of the inventory is from spring 2012. Unfortunately, there are no moto jackets but they are expected to come in with the fall collection in August.

Prada
If you’re looking for great sales on Prada this outlet is not the place to go. Generally, the outlet only discounts merchandise 30% to 40% off full retail. That is actually less than first markdown in the boutique. There’s no longer a sample sale rack and but you might get luck browsing through the “end-of-series” rack, which offers an extra savings of 30% to 40% off.
